The action-packed first-person shooter game titled “John Carpenter’s Toxic Commando” is scheduled to debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC through the Epic Games Store in early 2026. This announcement was made by both publishers Focus Entertainment and developers Saber Interactive.
Here is an overview of the game, via Focus Entertainment:
About
No matter if they’re driving or on foot, players will encounter massive groups of adversaries and challenging bosses, all fueled by Saber’s Swarm Engine. This technology is the backbone for games like World War Z: Aftermath and Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine II. The game offers cross-platform cooperative play, ensuring a thrilling experience for both action enthusiasts and fans of ’80s horror. When it launches in early 2026, it’s bound to serve up plenty of fear and excitement!
Not Just Another Mercenary Team
In the not-too-distant future, an attempt to tap into the Earth’s core for energy results in a catastrophic event, transforming the soil into sludge and the living into grotesque, undead creatures. However, the mastermind behind this experiment devises a solution: a band of skilled soldiers to rectify the situation. Regrettably, these professionals were beyond budget. As a result, he recruited THE TOXIC COMMANDO.
Strap in for Cross-Play-Ready Cooperative Carnage
Engage in team battles with up to 4 players, featuring cross-platform compatibility across PC and consoles. Your mission is to drive back the Sludge God along with its unspeakable minions from the underworld. Customize your character according to your preferred playstyle, select a class that suits you best, hop onto your preferred vehicle, and let loose a barrage of bullets, grenades, unique abilities, and even samurai swords!
